How many square feet is 14'3 x 9'8?

Answer 1

First, you need to use a single unit. You can't mix inches and feet to do this. So start by converting it to inches:

14'3" = 171"

9'8" = 116"

Now you can multiply those numbers:

171 * 116 = 19836

There are 144 square inches (twelve inches squared) in a square foot, so to convert it back to square feet, divide by 144

19836 / 144 = 137.75

And there you have it. The area is 137 and 3/4 square feet.
